[Comprehensive] I am not Michael

The impact of this encounter on Louis XV was very direct. This 16-year-old boy, King Louis XV of France, who was originally timid by nature, became more and more timid.Although the etiquette and posture instilled in him by his tutors allowed him to maintain a cold and authoritative appearance in front of others, everyone who knew him well knew that he was afraid, afraid that he would become a skeleton when he didn't know it. Fear that those crazy and ignorant people will rush into Versailles again to catch him and burn him at the stake.

Fear keeps the 16-year-old clinging to [Michael's gift] even in sleep, let alone during the day.

Therefore, in the following days, no matter where Louis XV went, no matter what he did, he would listen to the government, deal with government affairs, study homework, and even eat and go to the toilet with [Michael's gift].

Another manifestation of Louis XV is that he became very fond of talking about Zhao Changqing.

Especially after hearing what happened when Fleury met Zhao Changqing, Louis XV liked to call Zhao Changqing the Prince of the Far East, or directly and intimately call Zhao Changqing the Prince.

"Bishop, what do you think is the prince's most impressive decree?"

Once again, Versailles was crowded with aristocrats from all over the world. Although these aristocrats came to Versailles to serve Louis XV, the more reason was for [the gift of Michael].They firmly believe that [Michael's gift] can keep them away from skeletons and demons, so now wherever Louis XV goes, there will be a group of nobles following him.

He has new squires, but he prefers to be alone.

With so many people following, so many footsteps, he always inadvertently rang out the careerists who broke into Versailles and tried to catch him.

Not to mention, there are always Parisians dangling in front of his eyes recently, which is what he is most dissatisfied with.

There are many rules in Versailles, one of which is that any citizen, as long as he is not a monk or a beggar, as long as he is neatly dressed, he can enter Versailles to watch the king, queen, princess and prince dining.And this requirement is so loose that men only need to wear a wide-brimmed hat-this can be rented in Versailles-and there are basically no restrictions on women.Therefore, it is not uncommon for a vegetable seller in Paris to end her business for the day and then go to Versailles to squeeze in the crowd to watch the king have breakfast.

If it was in the past, Louis XV could have completely ignored it, but now, when Louis XV sees these Parisians, he will recall those bad memories, which makes him very uncomfortable and has the urge to run away.

This made Louis XV end his breakfast early every time, and then eat more snacks, drink more milk or wine, champagne and the like when chatting with others or having a picnic.

For the current Louis XV, all his sense of security comes from the [Gift of Michael] in his hand, so he is naturally very happy to discuss the story about Michael's incarnation.

In most cases, Fleury was more than happy to grant Louis XV's wishes.

Just as the Europeans followed the imaginary Orientals and set off the Renaissance, Fleury also regarded Zhao Changqing as the sage king of the Far East, and he was very happy to use his experience on Crescent Island to educate Louis XV and promote himself by the way. decree.

Bishop Fleury is now the new Prime Minister of Louis XV, leading the cabinet and actually holding the authority of France.

Hearing Louis XV ask him this question, Fleury said quickly: "Your Majesty, if the prince's decree shocked me the most, it is the prince's kindness to the people. In the prince's territory, children, whether they are boys or girls , Whether it is a newborn baby or a half-grown boy who is already active and half-worker in the family, as long as he is under the age of 15, he can get subsidies from the government."

"Subsidies for children?"

"Yes. It includes food and clothing." Seeing this, Fleury quickly took out a muslin handkerchief and said, "This is the cloth the Prince uses to supplement newborns."

A duchess next to her exclaimed, "This, isn't this silk?"

"No, it's not silk, ma'am," said Fleury. "It's cotton."

"cotton?"

Everyone exclaimed, and the handkerchief was quickly delivered to the king and queen. The queen touched it carefully and said, "Bishop, isn't this really silk? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like cotton cloth."

Smooth, dense, soft, brightly colored, no matter how you look at it, it is silk.Marie Rysenska could not believe that the handkerchief was cotton.

She had never seen such cotton.

Fleury said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed cotton cloth. The prince and his people call this cotton cloth muslin. The cotton cloth worn by the people of Paris is coarse cotton cloth, also called coarse cloth. "

Countess Christopher immediately laughed: "Isn't this normal? Everyone knows that people in the Far East can grow gold in their fields! Our fields are full of weeds, and my housekeeper has to supervise those lazy people every week. Grass, otherwise, the harvest will be reduced by at least a quarter!"

There was echoing sound all around.

This is also the consensus of Europeans in this period.Although those pirates were closer to the truth, the upper class in Europe before the Opium War was full of worship of the Far East.

During this period, there were many Westerners who believed that China's moon was rounder than Europe's, and most of them were nobles.

If it was placed in another time and space, or in front of those pirates, or even someone like Callett Beckett, it would definitely make people laugh.

The problem was that Fleury had already been to Crescent Island, and his knowledge could only add to this blind worship.

I only heard Fleury say: "Of course, the Far Easterners are different from us. I have seen it with my own eyes, so I can prove it. Do you know? Far Easterners can harvest wheat in ten days!"

"What? It only takes ten days to harvest?"

"Yes. This time I encountered a shipwreck when I was approaching the Caribbean Sea," Fleury had to explain when there was exclamation from all around, "When I was approaching Crescent Island, the boat was hit by a killer whale sinking."

"Killer Whale!"

"Yes, that's a hunter of the sea. It likes to hunt large fish, such as sperm whales."

There was another exclamation all around.

Fleury continued: "The sailors and I were rescued by a lady who was driving a small boat to relax at sea. Although it is a small boat, this is the definition of a small boat in the Far East. The small boat was 40 meters long. , a brigantine."

The Swedish aristocrat, Lord Felson, was surprised: "You mean, the 40-meter brig is just a small boat?"

Louis XV said: "Excuse me, is there something wrong?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, as far as I know, whether it's Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, or the Netherlands, their largest warships are only 50 meters long, and they are also brigantines. 40 meters, in many countries' navies Inside, it is already the standard of a warship."

Fleury said: "Yes. The ships under His Royal Highness are basically 150 meters long, and they all have straight sails. For the prince, the brig is really just a toy for the female relatives. On Crescent Island In those days, more than once, I saw those noble ladies and their maids and entourages driving a brig with ten sailors to go to sea for relaxation."

Queen Marie Resenska said: "You haven't said yet, in the Prince's territory, it really only takes ten days for the wheat to ripen?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fleury said, "People in the Far East have two kinds of staple food every day. One is flour, which is the same as us, and the other is rice, which is hulled rice. In the prince's territory, only wheat Ten days, rice only takes five days! And they don’t need land to grow these crops.”

"No need for land!"

All the nobles were ablaze.

Even King Louis XV's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that growing crops doesn't require land!This is no different from lying!

But he was well aware of Fleury's personality, and knew that the other party would never lie about this kind of issue, but he still needed to confirm it again.

"Is what you said true? You really don't need land to grow crops?"

Fleury said: "Yes, Your Majesty. Whether it was the lady who saved me, or the ships that sent me back to France, they all hung such thick bamboo poles on the sides of the boats. The bamboo knots in the middle of the bamboo poles It was opened, and then such a big hole was dug, and then the seeds were thrown in. This kind of bamboo pole can not only grow wheat, but also vegetables, flowers, and even fruits such as strawberries..."

The nobles exclaimed one after another, and even the Swedish nobleman Lord Felson said: "If this is the case, if the maturity period of wheat and rice can be shortened, then it is logical for the prince of the Far East to subsidize the children in the territory. .”

Felson paused, and then said: "I don't know if the prince of the Far East is willing to sell grain..."

As soon as Felson's words fell, the nobles didn't care, but the eyes of the two Parisian representatives in the corner lit up.

Thanks to the location of the French court and administration at Versailles, Paris was far from the center of French power, and the king and nobles were far from the citizens of Paris.

Because of the witch hunt movement, Paris has fallen into unprecedented chaos in the past six months. Many people lost their lives, even those public officials.The direct consequence was that several granaries in Paris were out of management, and the grain in the granary was moldy and rotten to varying degrees.

In other words, although the population reduction has reduced the pressure on food, the famine is still foreseeable across the country.

To be able to become a citizen's representative, one must have at least the ability to judge.They are eager to buy a batch of grain.

However, Fleury's words shattered their expectations:

"Unfortunately, the Prince does not accept gold."

The author has something to say:

This book was originally intended to be about pure love, but I suddenly discovered that I couldn't write emotional drama at all, and subconsciously, the protagonist has no emotional line.

Therefore, there is no CP in this article.

Because a book friend mentioned it, let me explain it here.
